Well done! I know they are such a great exercise, but I dont do them very often, I kinda hate them, I guess I’m just too lazy to do them! Give me squats, lunges, you name it, but not burpees! But I think I am going to challenge myself and from next week start doing burpees everyday! Thanks for inspiring!

That number of burpees is amazing.
But how can you do it just before bed. Your heartrate will be through the roof and I couldn’t sleep for hours after a workout.
Good luck with the program.

How could you do 100 of those without puking from dizziness or a head-rush? Not that i’m doubting you mr. fat man But that looks tough! I’m going to go try these now and see how I do.

Great reminder. I joined a boot camp group a few years ago. In the beginning, I could only do 10 burpees. Within a few months of practice, I was up over 100. It just takes a little practice and be willing to challenge yourself.

The only stupid question is the one not answered. Or so it says in classrooms across America.

Burpees are a phenomenal workout. 105 of them is impressive!

Burpees are very tiring especially for a girl like me to be doing it…

But i suppose its good because it will really help you to work out and sweat those calories off…

Keep it going!

I know! I felt silly not knowing what Burpees were too lol! I have a fair bit of weight to lose myself, it’s great reading blogs like this written by people who were in the same place I am now. I just have to get off my own ass and start the process.

What do I even say to that? Holy MERDE, but that’s fantastic! I haven’t worked out in so long at this point, if I attempted to do FIVE burpees in a row, you would have to change them to “BARF-fees.” (LOL)

I will get there at some point, (I hope)…Not the 105 you and your missus did, but the FIVE in a row for starters. I’m supposed to get my tired ass out of the house next week and start prepping for the project (meaning CARDIO.) Do me a favor, would ya? You have my permission to smack me in the back of my stupid head if I don’t man-up and keep my promise to myself on Monday!

As for you, Super-FMU…Keep it up! You will see 250 in no time!

Way to go! I just looked up burpee’s on youtube and figured out that they are squat-thrusts I used to do in grade school… All this time I’ve been pretending I knew what you all were talking about.

I guess I’m going to have to start doing a few of these. I was at a martial arts seminar and joined in some ground work – during the warm-ups I was kind of embarassed because my sit-ups were weak during the warm ups.

Keep up with good work Israel.

Umm, WOW. I know you’re tougher than me, but I would’ve never though you had it in you. That’s a compliment, not a wise crack.

Right now I’m eating Cream of Asparagus soup, with emphasis on the CREAM part. Shame on me.
